Despite its height, Mont Chetif is a summit that you cannot miss, due to its position exactly in front of Mont Blanc.
F | 1151 m | 4-5 hrs |
It is situated NW of Courmayeur: from here it is the big round head that you see at your left, looking at the Mont Blanc summit. There are different ways to arrive at the top: the most interesting one is partially equipped with chains. You cannot call it exactly a “ferrata”, as the length of the part equipped is about 100 meters, while the total difference in height is 1151m, but in any case you must take care. Originally it was an ancient path used by the shepherds to reach the high pastures of the area. In a sunny and clear day, it seems you can touch with your fingers the Mont Blanc top, just in front of you.
